Großfürst Konstantin Konstantinowitsch Romanow von Rußland (1858-1915) war als Dichter und Dramatiker unter dem Schriftstellernamen "KR" bekannt. Außerdem war er ein versierter Übersetzer klassischer Literatur. Von seiner frühen Kindheit an interessierte sich Großfürst Konstantin Konstantinowitsch mehr für Literatur, Kunst und Musik als für das Militär. Dennoch wurde er auf eine Marineschule geschickt und kam später zum Ismailowski Leibgarde-Regiment. Am 27. April 1884 heiratete er seine deutsche Cousine, Prinzessin Elisabeth von Sachsen-Altenburg (1865-1927), Tochter des Prinzen Moritz von Sachsen-Anhalt. Nach ihrer Übertritt zur russisch-orthodoxen Kirche erhielt sie den Namen Jelisaweta Mawrikijewna. Die Ehe war glücklich, und das Paar bekam neun Kinder. Großfürst Konstantin Konstantinowitsch war ein Sohn des Großfürsten Konstantin Nikolajewitsch (1829-1892) und dessen Gattin, Großfürstin Alexandra Jossifowna (1830-1911), geborene Prinzessin Alexandra von Sachsen-Altenburg.

Princess Charlotte Luise Friederike Amalie Alexandrine of Saxe-Hildburghausen 28 January 1794 – 6 April 1825

Charlotte was a member of the House of Saxe-Hildburghausen and a Princess of Saxe-Hildburghausen (and later of Saxe-Altenburg) by birth. Through her marriage to William, Duke of Nassau, Louise was also a member of the House of Nassau-Weilburg and Duchess consort of Nassau. Louise was briefly Princess consort of Nassau-Weilburg in 1816.

Louise was the seventh child of Frederick, Duke of Saxe-Hildburghausen and his wife Duchess Charlotte Georgine of Mecklenburg-Strelitz. One of her godparents were her aunt, Louise of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, Queen consort of Kingdom of Prussia. Louise and her sister Therese were considered very beautiful, and were the subject of the Friedrich Rückert poem “Mit drei Moosrosen."

In 1809, Ludwig, Crown Prince of Bavaria visited Schloss Hildburghausen to choose his bride. Ludwig chose between Louise and Therese and finally selected Therese. Louise married William, Duke of Nassau, eldest son of Frederick William, Prince of Nassau-Weilburg and his wife Burgravine Louise Isabelle of Kirchberg, on 24 June 1813 in Weilburg.

To honor the occasion of their marriage, the Civil Guard of Weilberg and Samuel Luja composed the "Cantate am Feste der Heimführung des Erbprinzen Wilhelm von Nassau mit der Prinzessin Louise von Sachsen-Hildburghausen

The couple went on to have eight children.

The marriage was an unhappy one. Louise's husband was not only autocratic in politics, but also with regard to his family circle and bullied his wife and children. Louise died in 1825 shortly after the birth of her youngest daughter, Marie. Following her death, Louise's husband married her sister Charlotte's daughter Princess Pauline of Württemberg

 The Luisenplatz and Luisenstraße in Wiesbaden are named for Louise.
